I was traveling with my parents in a car. There were many, many hills surrounding us and our little car. I don't know where we were going but it was interesting. No one was talking in the car, it was a soft silence. Eventually, my phone rang. It was my friend's mother. She was calling me, drunk, saying that her daughter was in the hospital and I needed to come right away because her daughter only wanted to see me. I didn't understand since I just saw her a while ago, or maybe it was a few months ago.. or maybe a year? I didn't remember but I agreed. I told my parents that I needed to go to the hospital and visit my friend. They said fine. However, they also told me that they were going to leave me there because they are on vacation. They wanted to keep driving to their destination (I didn't even know where that was). Anyway, as I we continued, eventually I arrived at the hospital. I walked in and I saw my friend. I heard my parents drive off. Her mother was passed out drunk as I walked in and saw my friend's smile. She looked at me, her hair short and her body frail. I asked "What's up?" Like nothing was wrong and we had some conversation about school and her mother. We discussed aspects of life and how my life is busy and her life is boring until now. Then, I finally asked her the question: "What's wrong?" She was diagnosed with cancer. At that time, she pulled off her wig and she was bald. I got nervous. Eventually, the dream moved on and I ended up in her home taking care of her since her mother was constantly drunk and unable to do anything...
It was weird. This friend is someone I hadn't seen in years. I have not even seen her face but her face was so clear to me. I hugged her tightly like i haven't seen her in ages. Now, I really miss her.
